Protection On The Journey

December 08, 2025

"After these things the word of the LORD came unto Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward." Genesis 15:1

Life at times can be difficult, and in these difficult times it can be hard to make the right decisions. When we decide to give our lives to God, we have to know without a doubt that God will lead us and guide us through the many difficult situations and circumstances we will face. When the road becomes rough and rocky we have to know God is there for us and we never have to be afraid, even if we do not know where the road is taking us. I encourage you today to remember God is leading and guiding you, and He has you on the right road, and He will take you to higher heights and deeper depths in your journey with Him. God told Abram, even before he was Abraham to leave all that was familiar to him, and God was going to show him where to go. God made Abram a promise He would be his shield and a great reward for him, if he would go where he told him to go. Abram followed God, and God blessed him. You do not have to be afraid of the road God has you on, God know right where He is taking you. The road God has you on is one where He will protect you from all hurt, harm and danger. The road God has you on is the one He has designed to bring you to your destiny in Him. Never let anyone or anything take you off the road to your destiny in God. God is your shield He will be with you through it all. I thank God for where He is leading me and I know the road He has me on is leading me to the place of my destiny in Him, and this is why I am extremely confident that, "It's My Year To Get My Thing From My God!"

Prayer:

Lord, thank you for leading and guiding me on the road of life. When the road gets rough I do not worry because I know that you are with me. When the valleys are low, I do not worry because I know you are my protection and my shield. Thank you for always covering and keeping me. I love you Lord. In Jesus Name Amen.
